The "Plattsburgh" knot is named after the small town in up-state New York where Thomas Fink, inventor of the knot and co-author of the book "The 85 ways to tie a tie", is born. In contrast to its narrow close relative the "St. Andrew", the "Plattsburgh" produces a symmetric knot characterized by a broad cone with a narrow opening.

The video is to be viewed as if you were looking in a mirror.

  • wich knot should i use for a wide tie. the shirt i'm going to wear has also a wide open collar

  • The Windsor knot

  • Which of all the knots look the most provacative or stand out the most?

  • It's all about which knot goes best to which tie. The knot compliments the tie, not the othe way around.

    That said, It's clear that the "Windsor" is the most popular of all knots. Not without reason.

  • It looks like the Windsor

  • You are actually right, I never thought about it but it is exactly like the Windsor. Unlike the Windsor though, it starts inverted, thus eliminating one turn and making it slightly smaller than the Windsor. Thanks for your input!

  • many people have been strangled by someone else pulling their ties, you better not wear one today

  • you handle that tie very seductive-like, it looks like you are giving it a gentle massage

  • Hellhammer, you and the guy you are talking to sound like NIles and Frasier
